Proof of Life is a 2000 thriller directed by Taylor Hackford (Against All Odds) that stars Russell Crowe as Terry Thorne, a K&R (Kidnapping and Ransom) specialist who is assigned to negotiate the return of a building engineer (David Morse) who while overseeing the construction of a dam in a fictional South American country, is kidnapped by the country's left-wing insurgency, known as the ELT. During the course of the negotiations, Thorne unexpectedly finds himself getting emotionally involved with the engineer's wife (Meg Ryan).
The following weapons appear in the film Proof of Life:
Handguns
Beretta 92FS

Colt Commander
The personal sidearm carried by Terry Thorne (Russell Crowe) is a Colt Commander. He pulls it on Arturo Fernandez's group and later gives it to Peter Bowman (David Morse) during the rescue. There must have been two different weapons used, because when he first pulls it, adjustable sights are seen.

One of Fernandez's cronies uses a Glock 17, but never gets to fire it.
Smith & Wesson Model 686
Another of Fernandez's cronies is armed with a Smith & Wesson Model 686.

What appears to be the AKS-74U is seen in the hands of Russian soldiers, Chechen rebels and several ELT members. It should be noted that since the Chechen scenes were filmed in Poland, the AKS-74U's present in those scenes are actually Kbk. wz. 88 Onyks rifles, an improved version of the AKS-74U that included a more efficient muzzle brake design and the addition of the three round burst mode.
Kalashnikov Variants
Numerous Kalashnikov rifles, including the AKM and Norinco Type 56 are seen in the hands of ELT rebels.

The Israeli-made Galil ARM can be seen being used by ELT rebels throughout the film.

Tactical Map
I just had to mention this map, because it is so realistic. It is exactly what a team of Special Operations Forces would use when assaulting a camp.
